Wanting to Improve Your Fertility Naturally?

Then you have found the place to support natural fertility. Holistically with the ancient wisdom of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs, and the modern discipline of Coaching.

Acupuncture is commonly used to improve fertility.

Chinese Medicine has been used for over two thousand years to improve natural fertility. If you are ready to have a baby, now is the time to start preparing your mind, body and soul. There is a lot of research regarding acupuncture and fertility/IVF outcomes. This recent study found that acupuncture has low risks, and may be effective when compared with no adjunctive treatment. It also suggested it increased clinical pregnancies and live births (Smith et. al., 2019).

Not because you are getting old. But because it is your dream and priority to be a parent and share this wonderful world with your child.

Much preliminary research shows that acupuncture can improve menstrual cycle and prevent early miscarriage, and that further extensive studies are required.

Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the use of single-use only sterile needles on certain acupoints in the body. A complete diagnosis is made according to the state of your qi and blood. Whether you have deficiency or stagnation and then if you have any impacting factors such as heat, cold or dampness. Points are selected to rectify and adjust your energetic imbalances along with complimentary modalities. Moxibustion, cupping or gua sha as needed and prescribed specifically for you.

When Is It Best To Have Treatment?

Frequency and type of treatment is prescribed specifically to your needs. Acupuncture is safe, gentle, effective and relaxing. You can have acupuncture at any point in your normal cycle, IVF cycle and pregnancy. Especially when you are in the hands of a knowledgeable and experienced Acupuncturist.

Chinese Herbs

Chinese Herbal Medicine can support natural fertility, pregnancy and women’s health. In most fertility cases, herbs are important for you as they support your body to be stronger and healthier. A prescribed Chinese Herbal Formula has functional actions to treat signs and symptoms that affect your fertility. Such as late ovulation, luteal phase defect to scanty periods (affecting the uterine lining)? Usually with fertility you need to clear the old blood out of the body before your body is strengthened. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can move blood stagnation. Blood stagnation occurs as we age and due to other factors such as having a history of chronic health issues, age, emotional stress and trauma.

Ilana has studied a Masters Degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine and has taught TCM Gynaecology at University level.
